--- Comment #2 from fred frazelle <frazell...@gmail.com> ---
Thank you very much, Alex, for personally replying.
Here's the situation:
Once i get the list of file and folders (folders being the other,
very important part here), all i want to be able to do is to copy those
to another folder, with the files once again appearing in their
respective folders. So, we would do the sync, then send to List Box and
from there, select just the files and then from the mouse i think,
select Copy. When the Copy window appeared, it would include a Check
Box to Preserve Original Structure or something to that effect so that
when the files were copied into the other pane/folder, they would
arrive, each in its original folder.
i suspect that what you are suggesting would only copy the files to the
new folder, but would leave out their folders. i don't know if you are
familiar with Areca Backup, but it seems to do the same thing, but it
creates a folder which contains the files, each in folder in which they
originally appeared.
i hope this clarifies the situation a little. Thank you again very much
for replying and asking the question. i suspect that getting the
program to make this "copy and maintain folder structure" is not as easy
as it sounds.
Have a wonderful day and keep up the great work! :)

still they widen, he will be thinking of the glory of his land and of
his race. But when ideas and views reach the utmost degree of
expansion and attain the stage of perfection, then will he be
interested in the exaltation of humankind. He will then be the
well-wisher of all men and the seeker of the weal and prosperity of
all lands. This is indicative of perfection."/
